Quick take
1/4 oz hand-poured lead drop shot weights in a silver finish.
These lead drop shot weights come ten to a pack in a drop shape with a silver finish. A quarter-ounce weight is a common starting point for shallow water, where a light sinker lets you feel the bottom as the rig falls. Anglers rigging a finesse drop shot can keep the sinker light and let the soft plastic do the work.
